I think a lot depends on how you plan to use the MH and where you prefer to camp. I too would choose chassis over layout. Also storage, CCC, and FW capacity over layout. I bought an older Class A 11 years ago when I retired to learn and see if i liked the life style and to figure out what I wanted in my next and final RV. I have a list of things I want after using this MH for 11 years and 80,000 miles of trips. The problem is I can't find one that has all my wants. Also priorities change as we get older. So don't try to find the perfect one just get one that meets most of your needs and enjoy it while you still have your health and desire to travel.
